--
Birth: 1716-12-26 , Londres
Death: 1771-07-30 , Cambridge
Thomas Gray was an English poet, primarily recognized for his "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard". His work, though scarce, is characterized by melancholy, reflection on mortality and the beauty of the ephemeral, and a profound landscape sensitivity. Despite a quiet life dedicated to study, his poetry explored universal themes with a formal mastery that significantly influenced early Romanticism.

The boast of heraldry, the pomp of pow’r, And all that beauty, all that wealth e’er gave, Awaits alike the inevitable hour: The paths of glory lead but to the grave.

Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard, st. 9
